Maybe Smith forced his way in by good performances at training?

There would seem to be a bug there. Foley's 38 / 51 and Lilo's 49 / 64 this year. If you go here you can look at every kick. It's supposed to be accurate. http://goalkickers.co.za

51% and 58%? Isn't Lilo on 76.6% and Foley 74.5% this year? Edit: I see No4918 has already said it.

Nathan Grey if it's from the sideline?

Please forgive this tl;dr, but I thought I'd spend my ten cents worth of typing on Saturday's test in Brisbane. It's really about this week's test so I put it here. The bottom line is that we lost. That's a bitter pill, especially after the momentous win in the World Cup encounter. Most of us...

The problem for us is that teams have worked Folau out. They don't put up contestable kicks because he's so dangerous coming forward. Instead they kick to him deep and chase hard, in order to close him down from a standing start. His kicking is poor and they know it. That's okay. The great...

Seriously? Nope, you don't understand. It's to enable us to play a wider game. They're there for the next breakdown. The aim is for them not to get the ball, since that defeats the purpose of the tactic. Are you sure you were watching the right match? As for your unsporting comments...

The time of the injury.

Should be more of it. It speaks better of us as a society that we prefer people hamming it up to the industrial-strength moaning that Stephen Jones and Brian Moore et al use to sell papers.

Each of our four tries?

Yeah, that's good for me too. Gill could be an impact monster.

Equal poaches are fine. Breakdown stats need to be considered in at least four dimensions: turnovers won, tunovers lost, fast ball for us, slowed ball for them. There were equal turnovers but I think we won clearly on the fast ball front. On the other hand I think our breakdown penalties were...

Our poaches are better than their poaches. :-)

Why would we be shamed throughout the rugby world? Seems like you disrespect both teams, particularly England, who I think deserve credit for their achievements since the world cup.

Uniformly panned? Mate, the royal wee is for the royal urinal, not here.

As with the breakdown, I question our guys losing the collisions. Can we have some examples? Apart from Pocock having his eye sockets re-arranged, of course. If a team can win 73% possession and 76% field position in the second half of a test, and be losing the collisions, they must have a...

My home's in Qld, swingpass. I find 1974 to be very pleasant. Endless sunshine, mullets, singlets, old beat-up Holdens, and Skyhooks on the radio. Ahh.

That's not to menation bloodgate. In Australia that'd be a bridge.

It's 1974 in Queensland. ;-)
